The Village of Hortonville, Wisconsin, held a meeting on June 21, 2025, to address several pressing infrastructure issues, primarily focusing on emergency repairs related to water leaks and a sinkhole.

The meeting commenced with a discussion led by Robert J. Immel regarding an emergency water leak and hydrant replacement at the intersection of Oak Street and John Street. Immel explained that the hydrant was notably old, and during excavation, it was determined that both the water leak and the hydrant needed immediate attention. The council reviewed two invoices related to this work, ultimately approving a payment of $17,008.45 to Robert J. Immel Excavating for the emergency repairs. The motion received unanimous support from the council members.

Following this, the council turned its attention to another urgent matter: a sinkhole that had developed at the intersection of Birch Street and Michael Richter Way. Immel reported that the sinkhole was caused by a compromised storm sewer, which had been damaged during utility work by We Energies. The council noted that there was photographic evidence of the damage, confirming that We Energies would reimburse the village for the repairs. The plan is to pay for the repairs upfront and then seek reimbursement from the utility company.

The meeting concluded with a clear understanding of the necessary actions to address these infrastructure challenges, ensuring that the village's water and storm sewer systems remain functional and safe for residents.
